Interviewing is the wooooorst.

Yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

👎: getting laid off from my job of 6 years.
👍: four day weekend!

(gotta look for those silver linings where you can…)

HMU if you know of anyone that needs a kickass front-end dev!

15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.

Somehow "Elon Musk Is a Genius" and "Elon Musk Doesn't Know How Hands Work" are being said by a lot of the same people

Sometimes the trash takes itself out. Use the appeals to "bipartisanship" and "norms" and other mealy-mouthed appeasements guide you over the coming months. When someone tells you who they are, believe them! Block, block, block -- don't give Nazis and their flying monkeys an inch.

What happened today at the inauguration and what will happen to us as a country in the coming years will never be ok. This is full-throated, mask-off fascism. Anyone who minimizes or excuses any of this is not welcome in my life. Shame on anyone who thinks this is the way forward for America.

They never got over Jessica Rabbit!

Going from Lloyd Austin (4-star general, Army Dep. Chief of Staff, top commander in Iraq, head of CENTCOM) to Pete Hegseth (was in National Guard years ago, pushed out of veterans group for misconduct, championed convicted war criminals on TV) really highlights what the right means by "DEI hire."

I swear that when my children have homes of their own, I’m going to plug up THEIR toilets every time I visit and see how they like it.

kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

“Back to the harry mower, hunting the harlot like a town. Codepipeline Assaf I. Future lies beyond the Alan Turing. Run, run! Like wild. What did you think?”

I was at an event playing music beforehand and the lyrics were being ai generated for accessibility. Anyway, here’s what our robot overlords think the lyrics to “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John are.

Happy debugging-from-your-childhood-bedroom day to all those who pushed to prod this week 🥳

Happy American Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! May it be full of all the best the day has to offer. (ie stuffing)

Sometimes I feel like I’d just rather have burned pie crust than trying to put the fucking collar of fucking aluminum foil around the fucking pie while it’s fucking 600 degrees.

I never feel dumber than when I've just bonked my face on a thing I've literally just opened (cf smashing the bridge of my nose on the mailbox lid just now. 🙃) Like, I thought I had this whole "object permanence" thing down by now.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH LURKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Sometimes you just want to scroll and that's totally okay

At least here it isn't an algorithmically optimized doomscroll designed to make you angry and scared

Please lurk and enjoy the cat pictures!

Mocking spelling mistakes is really punching down, but it always kind of tickles me when I see someone spell it “athiest”. Like, “it’s not just athy, it’s the athiest!” 👍🏻🏆

I missed this morning’s Echo Chamber meeting. What are we typing here today? EXACT text please, I don’t wanna not-echo!

Looking forward to all the new federal guidelines regarding the recommended daily allowance of roadkill.
